IN THE NEWS
PUFFS Brings Magic and Laughter to Midland

Wizards, wands, and witty one-liners—Midland Community Theatre is casting a spell this spring with its latest production: PUFFS, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic.​

Running weekends from April 25 through May 10 in Davis Theatre I, PUFFS tells the hilarious story of three unlikely friends just trying to survive seven years at a magic school where nothing ever goes according to plan. This clever parody shines a spotlight on the loyal, kind-hearted students often overlooked in tales of magical heroism.​

Directed by A. Chris Barton, the show is fast-paced, fun, and perfect for audiences who love a good underdog story—especially those familiar with a certain famous wizarding world. Please note, the performance is recommended for ages 14 and up.​

📍 Where: Midland Community Theatre
📅 When: Weekends from April 25 to May 10, 2025
🎟️ Tickets: Available now at mctmidland.org​

Whether you're a lifelong fan of magical adventures or just love a good laugh, PUFFS is a must-see for the whole family.
